The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today
that PennDOT will use existing photos on file for customers who renew
their driver’s license and identification card. “Using a customer’s
existing photo will help limit the number of people in our driver and
photo license centers, and by extension, help reduce the risk of
spreading COVID-19,” said Acting PennDOT Secretary Yassmin Gramian.
“This new process is not only a convenience, but it will help to keep
our customers and staff safe.”
All customers who renew their driver’s license or photo ID card online
or through the mail will receive a new product using the most recent
photo of that individual that exists in PennDOT’s system. No camera
cards will be issued to these customers, and they will receive their new
product by mail within 15 days. The renewal process is complete when
the final product is received.
Non-commercial driver’s license and photo ID card holders may renew
their product online, providing there are no corrections or changes
other than a change of address, by visiting
www.dmv.pa.gov. Both
non-commercial and commercial drivers may renew their products through
the mail.
Individuals who renewed their product on or before May 10 will receive a
camera card in the mail and will need to visit a PennDOT Photo License
Center to obtain an updated photo. Additionally, non-U.S. citizens must
also visit a driver’s license center in person to complete a
transaction. For a list of reopened locations, visit
www.dmv.pa.gov.
Expiration dates on driver’s licenses, photo ID cards, learner’s permits
and camera cards scheduled to expire from March 16 through May 31 have
been extended until June 30.
